The skin is one of the most complex organs in the human body, with each square inch containing thousands of nerve endings, tens of blood vessels, and hundreds of sweat glands. This means that there are a number of cosmetic conditions that can develop, which may impact our overall levels of self-confidence.

The good news is that as cosmetic treatment technology has advanced, there are now plenty of options for those keen to remove skin lesions that are causing discomfort or distress. I am proud to say that our Southsea clinic offers advanced diathermy treatments, which can be used to treat numerous different types of skin lesions.

Lesions and blemishes are treated gently with diathermy to cauterise the attachment or dissolve the blemish. It is a well proven, effective and quick remedy for removing unwanted blemishes and lesions from the face or body. If you are unsure if your concern is treatable, please contact us with a photo of the blemish and we will advise you on the best treatment.

Diathermy and advanced cosmetic procedures are effectively used to remove or reduce more than 20 different blemishes including:

Skin Tags, Vascular lesions & blemishes, Blood spots, Sun damage, Moles, Milia, Sebaceous cysts, Syringoma, Verruca & warts, Xanthelasm, Dermatosa, Papulosa Negra, And many more.

NOTE – some lesions may require a GP consent letter prior to treatment. Please ask for guidance. We are likely to request a photo of the lesion(s) to establish the best treatment plan.

We advise that you avoid the use of any active or prescription products or treatments such as laser or waxing on the area to be treated for 7 days pre and post treatment.

The area treated can be sensitive and/inflamed after treatment. We ask that you avoid touching the area and keep it dry for 24 hours. We also advise you not to pick at any scabbing as this is an essential part of the healing process. Vaseline can applied to prevent skin in the surrounding area becoming irritated as it heals.
